Chapter 521: If there is a change, if there is none, it will be encouraged

The Mid-Autumn Festival in August www.biquge.info the pen "Fun" Pavilion was supposed to be a day of family reunion, but the civil and military officials who followed the emperor and his entourage could only wish people a long time and a thousand miles together.

When feasting in Luoyang Palace, watching the emperor's family sit on the head of the couple, the husband and wife are harmonious, the father and daughter are filial, and they are happy, which makes people not envious.

The banquet is not luxurious, the disaster relief work in Luoyang is still going on, Li Shimin doesn't want to let Wei Zheng scold him a few more words because of the extravagance of eating and drinking.

However, as the Lord of the Holy Wisdom, there will always be someone who will add a little blockage from time to time.

When he first returned to Luoyang, Li Shimin asked people to write a book to say that he was wrong, that is, to take the matter of so many people who died in the flood on himself.

But at that time, no one was in the book, not even Wei Zheng.

This made Li Shimin feel that the ministers were finally sensible, but Li Shimin was obviously naïve.

Fang Xuanling, Du Ruhui and others co-ordinated, Wu Yuanqing and others assisted, and under the specific responsibility of officials on the ground in Luoyang, the disaster relief work in Luoyang City and the surrounding areas is progressing very smoothly, especially in Luoyang City, the basic dredging and removal of animal carcasses, garbage, etc., anyway, the sanitation work has been disposed of, those doctors, and medical hall apprentices have also learned how to disinfect, deal with suturing trauma, etc., and those patients who have suffered trauma have also been treated quickly.

Everything is developing in a good direction, and as the emperor, Li Shimin is of course very happy in his heart.

So the emperor rose, and went out to the city to hunt a few times, and the next day after the Mid-Autumn Festival, the emperor took people out to hunt again.

The emperor's safari is different from ordinary people, ordinary people hunting is to find a suitable place and a group of people rush in to shoot arrows, encircle, capture and shoot prey.

Although the emperor's safari is almost like this, but his identity leads to the most important thing in any of his trips is security work, and this kind of thing is even more so, the scope of the emperor's safari is only a few miles, but the guards have cleared all the fields within a radius of more than ten miles, and no non-entourage or non-guards are allowed to appear within a radius of more than ten miles when the emperor is on a safari. And within a few miles of the emperor's safari in the innermost circle, it was surrounded by thousands of guards.

There was no way to make the battle small, but the imperial historians stopped doing it, thinking that the people around Luoyang had just suffered a disaster, and now the emperor is tossing them so much It is not the work of Ming Jun at all.

So after the emperor returned to the palace on a safari this time, he received several excerpts from the imperial history on the same day, and said that the emperor is now inflated, why are you always hunting, the original words are not like this, but the meaning is just that.

Li Shimin felt very aggrieved, thinking that I didn't waste money and money, I just went to the mountains and saw riding horses and shooting rabbits, why did one or two of you say something wrong.

Is it because the bunny is so cute, shouldn't I be so ruthless to shoot and roast and eat the bunny?

Li Shimin was inexplicably aggrieved, and privately followed the servants' henchmen and ministers and said: "Many imperial histories have said that I have hunted too often, and now the world is peaceful and there is no war for a long time, but this armament cannot be relaxed and forgotten because of this, and I will not be negligent in my armament, so that the guards will not be negligent in armament, I am not just for fun, there is a deep meaning. Besides, I and the guards are all hunting in the annex outside the city, which is the royal garden hunting ground, and I didn't bother the people because of one thing, and I didn't let the people be harmed, so why can't I hunt?"

Hearing Li Shimin's words, Fang Xuanling, Du Ruhui and others also felt that the imperial historians were making a little fuss and looking for trouble, but Wei Zheng, who had always been the head of the imperial history before, pouted.

Yes, the emperor, you are hunting in the royal palace hunting ground, but because of your safari, the people around you for more than ten miles have been driven out of their homes, and you have to wait for you to leave before you can go home. Yes, the area around the royal hunting ground is your royal for dozens of miles, and the land planted by the people is your royal family, and the rent is also handed over to your royal family, and they are all your royal tenants. But after all, you were kicked out of your house because your emperor went to the hunter's house, even if you are a royal tenant, you can't be tossed like this.

Although he thought so, Wei Zheng couldn't say that, because the emperor was not wrong in this matter. So Wei requisitioned a very euphemistic set of words to persuade him, and he was also supporting his old subordinates.

He said: "When the Emperor is alive, I am afraid that I will not hear others point out his mistakes. When His Majesty ascended the throne, His Majesty did the same, so he ordered that the hundred officials could write a book, allowing them to confidently and boldly point out the emperor's mistakes. The ministers thought that this was very good, just like these imperial histories now, and they wrote to His Majesty what they thought was wrong and what they were worried about. Your Majesty, do you think what they said is right, there is merit, and it is beneficial to the country, then it is naturally the best. If Your Majesty thinks that what they say is not desirable, then you can ignore it, and you have nothing to lose to Your Majesty anyway."

Wei Zheng's meaning can be summed up in one sentence, that is, if there is a change, if there is none, then encouragement. Anyway, it doesn't hurt you to treat the emperor, you don't have to worry too much.

Wei Zheng's tendency to speak outside and outside is still relatively clear, he is supporting his old subordinates, old departments. Anyway, the function of the Imperial Historical Observatory is to hear about things, that is, to correct mistakes, whether it is the fault of the officials or the fault of the emperor. If you don't correct the mistakes, then it's useless to keep the Imperial Observatory.

Li Shimin didn't know if he didn't hear Wei Zheng's tendency, anyway, after listening to Wei Zheng's words, Li Shimin nodded approvingly, and praised what you said was very right.

After half a ring, he said quietly, I will pay more attention when hunting in the future, do not invade the people, do not disturb the people, as for the imperial historians, let them say.

Wei Zheng almost vomited blood when he heard this, it seems that it is difficult to get the emperor to change his hobby of hunting.

August and September, just the last period of the autumn harvest, the people were busy harvesting the crops and grain in the fields, and Li Shimin naturally did not go out to harm the people. Otherwise, he would have been hunting for a few days, and he would have delayed the harvest of many people for a few days.

Just when all parts of Datang were immersed in the agricultural harvest, or rejoiced because of the harvest, or disappointed and sad because of the poor harvest, almost successively Datang spies sent back news from Goguryeo, Silla, and Baekje.

On the third day after the Mid-Autumn Festival, Baekje brazenly sent troops to capture several important border towns in western Silla, while at the same time Goguryeo also gathered nearly 50,000 troops on the northern border of Silla, staring at Silla with fierce eyes.

Because of the need to guard against the more powerful Goguryeo taking advantage of the fire, Silla did not have any decent resistance and countermeasures when it was attacked by Baekje, as if its hands and feet were tied.

Li Shimin, who got the news, did not react, as if he was not at all unhappy that his subject country Silla was attacked.
